The Trade DOllar,-Many inquiries
are made whether trade dollars can now be
used US IA circulating medium amsng the
people. Yos. A trade dollar is AS valuable
as the standard dollar for all the purposes of
trade and business men will receive them. of
course, MS will banks and other financial in
stitulions, but banks and financial institutions
will send them to the Treasury for redemp-
tisn, and not pay them out again. In short,
the trade dollar is now the legal representa-
tive Of STANDARD silver dollar, and will con.
tlnue u be 50 until the 4th day of Sept. next.
IL will, therefore, command the value of
dollar in all the channels OF trade during
that period, after which il will bQ only sill
yer bullion, worth little over 80 cents.
We advise all, however, who take these coins
in the ordinary channels OF trade, To quickly
deposit them with the banks, that they may
be redeemed and not kept in circulation.
